Circle 05:34
Don’t take me there, unless you surrender or you remember what you said. Leave down your hair, don’t take extra measures keep all your treasures under your bed. My heart a thousand pieces scattered on the floor piece back this wreck together a necklace down your jaw Bright colored fuchsia stones bring life onto your skin the most precious of all the bead that sealed my soul Don’t worry dear, I will be here in case you need me; I’m just as lost, perhaps a ghost, haunting your finest dreams Take all that’s left and keep it in a box, turn back your old clocks to the right time My heart a thousand pieces scattered on the floor piece back this wreck together a necklace down your jaw Bright colored fuchsia stones bring life onto your skin the most precious of all the bead that sealed my soul Don’t worry dear, I will be here in case you need me; I’m just as lost, perhaps a ghost, haunting your finest dreams.

Cat Feelings 02:50
Eyes are busy, always down minds are hooked on all year round so much I have left to say which I do less and less every day heard you singing by yourself through the wall, -it wasn’t for or about me at all- I could not decide what to feel left out, happy or free? (too much energy to waste swipe across to show your taste just make sure don’t leave a trace)
3.
Her face is old But new to me And therefore strange And therefore fresh Her eyes are full Of images They make me want To feel her flesh (it’s strange how you can be transformed by just a single stare)
4.
Always connected with one another each by himself tangled in cables that never meet deaf-dumb by choice, sleep and repeat. We are the sound that lights your nights We are the hopes of a reply Loneliness breeds in large groups of people and people are aware of that, they gather more and more together they pile themselves on block of flats they spend their nights in crowded rooms and as they glance at someone’s face it all comes clear, this is a race to fill a space with lonely crowds, there’s no admitting it, of course.
5.
A tiny red scratch somewhere between the neck and shoulder can scar your heart for life a secret smile that hides in eyes wide open turns into a carving knife it carves so many lovely shapes you did not dare to dream of it carves your body and your face, it carves your flesh it carves so many lovely shapes you did not dare to dream of transforming all known frames and forms, making them fresh no holding back, no will to restrain give in to chills, let them expand up to your brain until a smile intrudes your lips and spreads and rolls towards your hips you wake up early each day and gaze out of windows more you stare and look, but sleep no more until your eyes go red and sore each night you force them to shut down-hoping your thoughts would follow too- you lie as calm as cotton clouds, control your breath, your hands, your doubts... you have convinced yourself at last, your mind is blank from words and past, now is the time for you to rest no holding back, no will to restrain give in to chills, let them expand up to your brain until a smile intrudes your lips and spreads and rolls towards your hips who would have thought this was the catch from just a tiny little scratch?

Belonging 03:48
I am the sand you collect in a closed up jar I am the sand you dust off before going back Pick me up, know you can’t keep your clutch; I slip through, some grains do find a way out
7.
I will follow every step, listen to your every word, never mind the little lies. I will speak as you have shown, all my dreams will take shape from every story that you told. Don’t let me down I might just drown I will do as I am told, be like you when I grow old, fixing hopes and wearing smiles. I will draw a heart for you and a flower, maybe two will you keep them all year through? Don’t let me down I might just drown
8.
So here we are at last, I suppose we’ve come far from when we thought we’d change the winters and warm each other up with whispers -escape the night- what was I thinking, so naïve, yet I can’t help but sing I make words become my world and sometimes dream again.

Toys 04:09
There are shiny cars and a toy guitar It’s a love affair and his doll has curly hair Girl and Boy There are puzzled stories and computer games Making all the girls to light up in flames There’s a love affair for him every girl’s a dare Girl and Boy You’re his toy There are bank accounts toys for friends around There is extra booze it’s his hunting ground It’s a love affair for him every girl’s a dare Girl and Boy You’re his toy

Paper Words 04:59
Paper words you whisper plastic bags of kisses and I want more Fireflies blazing stickers of a promise bursting fingertips on skin so red inside and I want more
11.
Lull 03:34
I am exploding from the inside the beating grows each time I think I feel the ticking going upwards I now can see it on my skin your fingertips reach out for mine you feel the burning, touch my spine blaze of emotions ... intertwine some dreams dissolve on the tip of my tongue and flavour everything I say others just linger in my eyes changing their colour day by day

Ζητούσα να βρω από παιδί ένα λιμάνι που να `χει ήσυχα κι αθόλωτα νερά το ξεροβόρι το τρελό να μην το πιάνει να `ναι γεμάτη η θάλασσά του από χαρά. Μα το λιμάνι αυτό που ζήταγα το βρήκα μες στων ματιών σου τη γλύκα. Είσαι το λιμάνι μου κι έχω αράξει δίπλα σου κι έχω ρίζει άγκυρα, άγκυρα για πάντα. Είσαι το λιμάνι μου, είσαι η γαλήνη μου, τώρα πια οι φουρτούνες μου φύγανε για πάντα
